Another lovely book by KJ Charles. My only complaint really is how over the top evil and obnoxious the villains were. (Listening to the audiobook, and actually hearing Mrs. Conrad’s screechy voice, did not help.) But, as always, KJ Charles is a fantastic writer. I really feel the MCs balance one another out so well here - Charles does a fantastic job of writing couples with genuinely wonderful chemistry.

i really enjoyed the slow pace of this book, to the point where my biggest disappointment was that the ending felt a bit rushed in comparison with the rest of the story.

Review for the whole series
I liked the art a lot. Every panel looks and feels like it was painstakingly drawn. I can see how Berserk shaped the manga industry as a whole.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the story. Griffith is practically a god in the later volumes. What’s the point of anything if you have such an overpowered villain? It’s not even like superman. He literally doesn’t have any weaknesses. Every action …Read More

This had everything I love, every trope and subtrope: epistolary parts, secret identity, quirky but not too quirky heroine, broody warhero with a character arc, funny family interactions, but not too much of them, after getting together some more actiony scenes. Beatrix became one of my ult heroins: headtstrong but not the mix of stupid and headstrong but smart meets headstrong. Her managing Christopher was so funny to watch …Read More

Extremely slow paced, often repetitive - lots of push-pull, I-shouldn't-but-I-want-to, arguing, etc. - yet Misha Horne is such a strong writer that I still didn't hate this at all. If it had been a different writer I probably would have DNF'ed, but Horne can make a scene where the characters do laundry into the most interesting in the book (and it genuinely was).

i’m seriously wondering why i am suddenly more than okay with reading monster porn.
i liked this book more than the first one, for sure. tons of spice, sweetness, and angst. i wasn’t sure at first how i felt about Seb and Lark as a couple, but they complement each other very well.
i also loved that we also got to see glimpses of Taylor and Holt and how in love they are.

The way MC2 (the older MC, Lawson) treats MC1 pisses me off.
MC1, a stripper who is deeply concerned about having enough material possessions because of a rough childhood, undergoes a lot of character development and sacrifices a lot by the end of the book. And at 96%, this is how MC2 is thinking of him. (Note that Ms. Cluck, who MC1 (Opie) considers a pet, has been established as the stupidest chicken on the ranch.)
